"We had a really tough goodbye with Augie yesterday," Ellen shared, infusing her words with emotion and brevity, alongside some truly adorable photos that captured their precious moments together. "We rescued him 12 years ago, and he was just so grateful. He showered us with love. We're going miss him like crazy. There's just no other dog like him."

For more than ten years, Augie was not just a pet—he was a heartwarming part and parcel, really, part and parcel, really, part and parcel, really, part and parcel, really, and part and parcel, really, and part and parcel, really, and part and parcel, really, and part and parcel, really, and part and parcel, really, and part and parcel, really, and part and parcel, really, and part and parcel, really, and part and parcel, really, and part and parcel, really, and part and parcel, really, and part and parcel, really, and part and parcel, really, and part and parcel, really, and part and parcel, really, and part and parcel, really, and part and parcel, really, and part and parcel, really, and part and parcel, really, and part and parcel, really, and part and parcel, really, and part and parcel, really, and part and parcel, really, and part and parcel, really, and part and parcel, really, and part and parcel, really, and part and parcel, really, and part and parcel, really, and part and parcel, really, and part and parcel, really, part and parcel, really, and community, really, and part and parcel, really. Family. He was often seen cozying up with Ellen and her wife, Portia de Rossi. The photos Ellen posted showed just how much joy and love Augie brought them. One standout image showed Portia craddling Augie with so much tenderness, a beautiful snapshot that reflected their close bond.

Messages filled with love and sympathy

The news about Augie touched many hearts. Fans and organizations alike poured out messages offering condolences and support. The folks at PETA, known advocates in animal welfare, chimed in too, praising Ellen and Portia's decision years ago. "Adopiting sweet Augie not only changed his life; it inspires others still," they noted.

A few days later, on Tuesday (May 20), Ellen took a moment yet again on social media, expressing just how much she appreciates everyone who reached out. She paired her thank you with a touching image: Portia with an older, gentler Augie, taken just a month before. The image captured a tender moment between Portia and their furry friend.

Starting fresh in England's Cotswolds

With some political upheaval in America, Ellen and Portia decided on a new chapter, settling down in England's enchanting Cotswolds. Fueled by a desire post-Trump's re-election, they sought peace and fresh experiences abroad.

Their arrival wasn't without bumps. Ellen made sure fans knew their luxurious new farmhouse had thankfully escaped any damage amid local flooding. Their stunning home sits on 43 acres with gardens, paddocks, fields, and a lot more—six bedrooms, a gym, and even a 55-foot indoor pool. Quite dreamy, right?

Navigating local hurdles

Yet, not everything was smooth sailing. Some locals weren't thrilled about a single-story extension Ellen and Portia added. Concerns about flooding and disturbance near ancient Roman ruins swirled around.

Despite these bumps in their journey, Ellen and Portia remained hopeful. Reports suggest they're considering a new home. Their story, while filled with a few detours, symbolizes a new beginning and their devotion—both towards themselves and their beloved pets.

Augie's passing marks a poignant chapter's close, but his beautiful spirit will undoubtedly continue inspiring Ellen and Portia. As they make new memories in England, they're reminded every day just how much love, resilience, and joy pets can truly bring.
